An excellent Carmelo Gómez has to investigate when appears a drowned fisherman washes up, on the shores of Galicia.
Slow-burning crime/mystery.
La Playa de los Ahogados (or The Beach of the Drowned for the English title) is a slow-burning crime/mystery. To me it wasn't very easy to follow because of the fast Spanish language and the unfolding story. But it was a good movie for this genre. The acting was good. The cast consists of good Spanish actors, some you may know from recent award-winning movies or shows like Luis Zahera (As Bestias or The Beasts for the English title) or Pedro Alonso (La Casa de Papel or Money Heist for the English title). There isn't much action, it's more about the police investigation, more a whodunit mystery that keeps you in the dark until the end. Not a bad Spanish movie from Galicia.
